The Cast of Characters

So, here I am, after way too much alcohol and a bit of prodding from a couple of friends, I am blogging. I've tried this before, with yahoo 360 pages and various and sundry other online versions of self expression...but I have never been consistent...it gets old...I find better things to do..the blog dies. Maybe this time will be different, I suspect there will be a couple of folks who will kick my butt if I start slacking off this time.

Will this be truth or fiction? Or will it be some hybrid of the two? We'll have to see how the stories demand to be written.

At any rate, here are the main players in my online drama.

Dearly Beloved-soulmate, partner, voice of reason, supports what I do, even when he doesn't understand just what it is that I am doing. Been around for over 22 years and claims to not be going anywhere anytime soon.

T1 and T2 - the twins, originally destined to be called Thing 1 and Thing 2. But I didn't want to run afoul of whoever holds the Dr. Seuss copyrights, so I settled for Twin 1 and Twin 2 (T1 and T2 for short)

T1 is our son, a guy I look up to (literally). He is a poet, a singer, a martial artist, the bon vivant of the family.

T2 is our daughter, tiny, pretty, fashionable, filled with the kind of perkiness that would make me want to smack any other human being who possessed it. But with her it just fills a room with light and joy.

The creatures in the picture above? They're part of the family...not plush, but fanciful beings imbued with life and personality courtesy of the imaginations of T1 and T2 (did I mention that my twins are teenagers?) They may make an appearance within the blog...with their owners' permission of course.

As for me...you can just call me "Gina". That's all you need to know for now.

Let the stories begin.

  1. I see great things coming on this blog...whether the author is drunk or not! LOL It's funny how the three of us took such totally different approaches to blogging. Keeps it interesting. And I've missed my friends for so long, it's great we're back on track; even if it is through blogging. Looking forward to more. And if there's not more, expect some ass-whooping!!!!
